Winning the toss, England captain Andrew Strauss elected to bat first. Taking advantage of home conditions, Sri Lanka bowlers restricted the visitors to 229.

From the English side, Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell looked decent with their bats, scoring 86 (115) and 50 (55) respectively. Following the average total, Sri Lanka openers Upul Tharanga and Tilakaratne Dilshan came heavily on England bowlers. Both batters completely outplayed England and took their team home with 10 wickets in hand.

Dilshan played an exquisite innings of 108 runs from 115 deliveries and received the Player of the Match award. Tharanga also supported Dilshan with the bat and became a centurion in the game. The left-handed opener played a 102-run knock from 122 balls in the big game.

In the inaugural match of the World Cup 2011, India vanquished Bangladesh by 87 runs in Mirpur and registered their maiden victory against the neighbouring cricket nation in World Cups. Virender Sehwag became the Player of the Match for his fabulous knock of 175 off 140.

In the match, Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan won the toss and invited the Men in Blue to bat first. Shakib’s decision proved wrong as Sehwag, along with Virat Kohli, looked relentless towards the Bangla bowlers. Shakib dismissed Sehwag on 175 but <a href="https://www.crictracker.com/cricket-news/dont-know-whether-current-players-want-to-lift-wc-trophy-for-virat-kohli-2011-team-wanted-to-do-for-sachin-tendulkar-harbhajan-singh/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kohli</a> stood at the crease until the end and went back to the pavilion with his unbeaten 100-run knock.

Sehwag’s remarkable 175 and Kohli’s maiden World Cup century put India in a comfortable position as the Men in Blue posted 370 runs in their 50 overs. Chasing the mammoth total, the Bangla side got wrapped up on 283 and handed India a solid 87-run win.&nbsp;

This time, both teams locked horns at the County Garden and India hammered the 1996 World Cup champions by 157 runs.

The match is remembered for Sourav Gunguly’s best One-Day International (ODI) innings of 183 runs off 158 deliveries and the incredible 318-run partnership between Ganguly and Rahul Dravid for the second wicket. The marvellous stand between both batters is the second-highest partnership in the World Cup.

Earlier, it was Ranatunga, who won the toss against his counterpart Mohammad Azahruddin and invited India to bat first. Chaminda Vaas dismissed Sadagopan Ramesh in the first over of the game but Ganguly and Dravid handled the situation brilliantly and rescued India after the early blow. Along with Ganguly, Dravid also hit a ton in the contest. Both superb innings helped India to task Sri Lanka to chase a gigantic target of 374. Pursuing the total, Sri Lanka surrendered at a score of 216 in 42.3 overs.
